[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Re: IHelpContentProvider is never called

[Chris Goldthorpe <cgold@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Without seeing your code it's hard to tell why exactly why it is not 
working. A content producer produces content only for the plug-in it is 
declared in, so if you have a plug-in my.plugin which has a content 
producer that content producer will be called every time the help system 
sees a reference to a file in that plug-in, for example with a url of 
/my.plugin/myfile.html.
